Reminiscence

I just remembered something I have to share. Do you recall that game Operation:Wolf in the arcades, where the Uzi was the controller and you pointed it at the screen shooting people? It was kind of the precursor to the Terminator game. I used to play it a lot, but it was kind of shitty, but I had fun. Anyway, I remember once I was in an arcade and an adult was playing Operation: Wolf and he was saying "Fuck you!" loud every time he killed someone. He'd be like, "Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you!" I don't know why I remembered that but it's always made me laugh. 

Things are okay here, but my football team, the Eagles totally sucked today. I think they have a Superbowl hangover. Plus, they're missing a lot of people including their starting quarterback. Either way, they sucked. 

I'm slowly working my way through Dragon Quest, but probably won't play today as I'm watching football. I'm really hyped about FF12 coming to Switch next year. That is the perfect handheld game. 

I've been talking to Yarger as he plays Spiderman, but I think he finished it now. He loves it. Looking forward to it eventually.

Wow, that guy must've said it a lot because you shoot a lot of soldiers in that game. Taito 1987. A good year for me because they released one of my favorite games that year, Sky Shark. 

I'm expecting some angry posts by my friend on Facebook about the Eagles right now. I had to work today so I know nothing about what happened, except from what you've said.

Taito released some good games. Remember Elevator Action?

Spidey is ok/solid for me so far, about on par with other Spidey games but with better presentation.

I still remember seeing a student outside the student center of the college I went to flipping off a poster for Godzilla (2014) and thinking, "These Nostalgia Critic types on YouTube are making certain people do some pretty weird shit," cause it looked like something one of those characters might do. I mean, I thought the movie was a bit of a slog, except the very beginning and very end, but no one was even around him while he was doing this and he even went back to the sign and did the same thing again. Nothing nefarious about it, just ... odd.

The internet has definitely made people weirder!

I remember Operation Wolf being in a lot of arcades when I was a kid.  Do you remember the sequel: Operation Thunderbolt?

Those type of games in the arcade were fun. I didn't get to play them that often but it was fun having a novelty controller and playing a game with a random person next to you. 

It is good to see people talking football again. I've gone back to listening to Cowboys Podcasts and just talking about how X player can be good.

yeah I'm really happy that football is back. It really relaxes me to watch games (except eagles games where I'm emotionally invested). I love the fall too so...
